    IUD (INTRA UTERINE

    DEVICE)
    The IUD is one of the safest
    family planning methods, according
    to estimates of annual death rates
    among US women using various
    family planning methods or no
    method

    prgilbert/vw-99 2
    Counseling

    Counseling is an essential part of every


    family planning provider's role

     Informative and empathetic counseling


    helps clients make the best choice of a
    contraceptive method and helps them use
    the method safely, effectively, and with
    satisfaction

    prgilbert/vw-99 3
    Insertion

     Proper IUD insertion reduces the risks


    of pregnancy and of all major side
    effects

     IUDs can be inserted safely at anytime


    during the menstrual cycle

     Cervical infections should be treated


    before the insertion

    prgilbert/vw-99 4
    Insertion Technique

    o Explaining the procedures


    o Infection-prevention procedure
    o Speculum examination and bimanual pelvic
    examination
    o Sounding of the uterus
    o Careful and slow technique
    o IUD placement high in the uterus
    o Following the manufacturer's instructions

    prgilbert/vw-99 5
    Timing of Insertion
     IUD insertion is safe and effective at any time
    during the menstrual cycle

     no advantage to the conventional practice of


    insertion during the first five days of the
    menstrual cycle

     the best time to insert an IUD is when she


    comes to the health center to request it, if
    reasonably sure that a woman is not pregnant

    prgilbert/vw-99 6
    Removal

     IUD removal is usually a routine and


    uncomplicated procedure

     can be done at any time during the menstrual


    cycle

     less than 2% of attempted removals of


    standard lUDs proved to be difficult

    prgilbert/vw-99 7
    Infection
     Overall, women using lUDs are about twice as
    likely to develop pelvic inflammatory disease
    (PID) as women using no contraception

     This increased risk of PID is largely


    concentrated in the first 3 weeks after
    insertion and is due to poor infection
    prevention during insertion

     Thereafter, the risk is among women


    exposed to STDs
    prgilbert/vw-99 8
    n Use long-lasting lUDs and do not remove them
    unless a woman requests removal,
    complications develop, or the IUD reaches
    the end of its effectiveness

    n Antibiotics just before IUD insertion are not


    shown to reduce pelvic infection in the first
    months of use

    n Antibiotics should not be seen as a substitute


    for good infection-prevention procedures
